Re-run expressions multiple times.

This is a convenient way of generating sample data. It works similarly to
replicate(..., simplify = FALSE).

rerun(.n, ...)

Arguments

.n

Number of times to run expressions

...

Expressions to re-run.

Value

A list of length .n. Each element of ... will be
re-run once for each .n.

There is one special case: if there's a single unnamed input, the second
level list will be dropped. In this case, rerun(n, x) behaves like
replicate(n, x, simplify = FALSE).

Lifecycle

rerun() is in the questioning lifecycle stage because we are no
longer convinced NSE functions are a good fit for purrr. Also,
rerun(n, x) can just as easily be expressed as map(1:n, ~ x)
(with the added benefit of being passed the current index as
argument to the lambda).
